Written By The Author...

I just figured out the title for my as yet, un-written autobiography...

"It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time."

Isn't that just perfect. The right hint of shabby optimism, coated in a rich caramel of regret and self-reflection. Everything seems like a Good Idea At The Time. It's only later, when the consequences arrive, that the scope of the Badness of the idea, comes into focus.

Yes, that's the title. And I'm sticking with it.

Now I just have to write the thing.
And also live a life that would be worth reading about.

Cheers,
COB

Funny you should say that. My buddy Jason was going to call his autobiography that.

And we were going to pair it with my autobiography: It Seemed Like a Bad Idea, But I Did It Anyway.

You know this is very Alex Ross-esque as well. Might make for a good painting ;)

ABSOLUTELY!
We found that particular overhead light in a bar in Toronto and took pictures of each other, over and over again. (If you go back to August or Sept in this blog, you can see the whole series of pics that we took.) Ben, Matt, Edison and I all knew who Alex Ross was and TOTALLY thought it looked like something he would do. The girls looked at us like we were morons.
